Sign up for a season ticket to our Jane Austen Book Club, Autumn/Winter 2025.
Jane Austen's anniversary year has seen multiple books about her life and work published. Over the Autumn and Winter of 2025, we speak to some of the authors working on Austen—novelists, biographers, and graphic artists—about their love of Austen, the inspiration behind their work, and the fresh perspectives they bring to her world. Each session offers the chance to hear lively conversation, ask questions, and explore how Austen continues to spark joy and creativity today.
